Why Are Articles Rejected?

• Is simply a small extension of a different paper, often from the same authors • Not within the aims & scope of the journal• Procedures and/or analysis of the data is seen to be defective• The conclusions cannot be justified on the basis of the rest of the paper • The manuscript is not complete/lacking key elements such as the title, authors,

affiliations, keywords, main text, references and all tables and figures• The English is not sufficient for the peer review process• The figures are not complete or are not clear enough to read• The article does not conform to the guide for authors• References are incomplete or very old• Currently under review at another journal• The article contains elements that are suspected to be plagiarized• It’s incomprehensible (e.g., the language, structure or figures are poor)• It’s boring

Most of these problems relate to publishing, not the underlying science..

"Getting educated and trained in the skills one needs in order to publish research

results, hypotheses, and models has never been more important, in particular for young scientists, but also for the more

established among us: Wiley has taken an important initiative in

developing an online platform that provides that education and assesses

participants’ progress. There is no doubt it will help scientists increase the impact of

their studies.“
